Tonight we're dining at a restaurant called Lanterns. It is an immensely popular restaurant.
This place is just packed.
One of the reasons we like this restaurant is that they are very involved in the community.
They help out orphanages by donating school supplies and every week they cook meals for
those who need it and just hand out free food.
Okay, so what are you having today? We've got a lemongrass tofu dish that we first tried
when we were cruising along the Mekong and it was delicious at the time, so we have expectations
about this one here tonight.
That's good. It has got a bit of a sweet and sour flavor but you can really taste the lemongrass,
What do you have over here? I'm having a claypot dish. This one is made with shrimp.
It is like a thick stew or a really flavorful thick soup. It is sweet yeah.
The shrimp clay pot is made with caramelized onions which gives it that kind of caramel
like sweet flavor. Oh, is it ever good.
We've been eating a lot of tofu dishes in Vietnam and this one does not disappoint.
It is really spicy but it is also sweet at the same time, so it is a nice mix.
Overall, this was an excellent meal. I feel it was the perfect intersection between price
and quality. I'd definitely come back. I've heard they've got a great hot pot, so maybe
we'll make a hotpot video really soon.
